THE WAsHINGroN Republican is so much
in favor of the repeal of the tobacco tax
that it says: "There ought to be q revolt in
Virginia, Kentucky, and other States that
feel this burden and injurious restriction

tax was imposed by the republicans, and

The RUMoR that Mr.. Pendleton will be
Secretary of War or Attorney General is
more probable than the one that he will be
Secretary of the Treasury, for his ideas on
the greenback and silver questions are, or
rather were few years ago, sadly at vari'
aucs with those of the President on those
subjects. The only apparent reason why
the President should want him in the cab

AS CONCLUSIVE proof, though none was
needed, of the Injurious effect Of large
surplus in the treasury, it is only necessary
to sav that the unanimous report OF the
pensions committee of the United States
House of Repres entatives assigns, as the
chief reason why the dependent pensions
bill should be passed over the Presidents
wise and proper veto, the fact that such q
surplus does exist ard that it should be ex'
pended. The most noticeable thing about
this report is that it was signed by every
one of the nine democrats on the commit
tee, only one Of whom, however, was from
the South, and he from Kentucky.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
To-day's Proceedings OF Congress.
WASHINGTON, Feb. %. 1887.

Petitions in very large numbers from
grand army posts, asking for the passage OF
the dependent pension bill over the Presi-
dents ve'o, were pre-ented-lrom Ohio,
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Connecticut,
Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New York, Iowa
and Maine.
A number of bills were reported from
committees ana placed on the calendar,
after which the Senate proceeded to
the consideration of House bills on the
calendar.
Mr.. Willis, OF New York, asked that the
House non-concur in the Senate amend
msnts to the river and har6or appropriation
bill; but Mr.. Anderson objected to this re-
quest (which if granted would throw the
bill Immediately into conference) and the
bill was referred to the appropriation com
mittee.
Mr.. Willis Immediately reported it back,
and upon point of order, it was sent to
the committee Of the whole.
Mr.. Belmont, of New York, from the
committee on foreign affairs, reported the
House substitute for the Senate retaliation
bill, and, under the special order, asked
for its Immediate consideration.
MIR. Rice, of Massachusetts,, raised the
point OF order that the substitute must be
referred to the committee OF the whole, on
the ground that it affected the revenue.
The speaker overruled tho point Of order,
stating that there was nothing on the face OF
the bill which showed that it would either
increase or reduce the revenue.
1t was determined that the debate should
be limited to three hours, and Mr. Belmont
proceeded to address. the House.

has used BoSchee'S German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma /,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and

without immediate relief. Three dos
es will relieve any case, and we consid-
er it the duty of ell DRUGGISTS to rec
commend 1t to the poor, dying con-
sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
80, 900 dozen bottles were sold last

was reported. Such a medicine as the

to create great interest throughout

county surveyors of Kalkaska and
Wexford counties are surveying the
route from Kalkaska to Bellaire, and
several Bellairites are on the route
from Bellaire to Charlevoix. We con-
fidentiy expect the completion of The

look out routes from East Jordan to
